GRE作文是中国学生比较头痛的，经常准备很多时间最后还是只得到3.5。我之所以得到6分，个人认为我的文风比较淳朴扎实，有科学性，写的思路比较广(正、反、特)，字数也比较多(I800+、A700+)。
Personal economic success might be due either to one's investment strategy or to one's
work or career. With respect to the former, non-conformists with enough risk tolerance and
patience invariably achieve more success than conformists. With respect to the latter, while
non-conformists are more likely to succeed in newer industries where markets and technology
are in constant flux, conformists are more likely to succeed in traditional service industries
ensconced in systems and regulations.
Regarding the sort of economic success that results from investing one's wealth, the
principles of investing dictate that those who seek risky investments in areas that are out of
favor with the majority of investors ultimately reap higher returns than those who follow the
crowd. It is conformists who invest, along with most other investors, in areas that are currently
the most profitable, and popular. However, popular investments tend to be overpriced, and in
the long run their values will come down to reasonable levels. As a result, given enough time
conformists tend to reap lower rewards from their investments than nonconformists do.
Turning to the sort of economic success that one achieves by way of one's work, neither
65
conformists nor non-conformists necessarily achieve greater success than the other group. In
consumer-driven industries, where innovation, product differentiation and creativity are crucial
to lasting success, non-conformists who take unique approaches tend to recognize emerging
trends and to rise above their peers. For example, Ted Tumer's departure from the traditional
format of the other television networks, and the responsiveness of Amazon's Jeff Bezos to
burgeoning Internet commerce, propelled these two non-conformists into leadership positions
in their industries. Particularly in technology industries, where there are no conventional
practices or ways of thinking to begin with, people who cling to last year's paradigm, or to the
status quo in general, are soon left behind by coworkers and competing firms.
However, in traditional service industries--such as fnance, accounting, insurance, legal
services, and health care--personal economic success comes not to non-conformists but
rather to those who can work most effectively within the constraints of established practices,
policies and regulations. Of course, a clever idea for structuring a deal, or a creative legal
maneuver, might play a role in winning smaller battles along the way. But such tac-tics are
those of conformists who are playing by the same ground rules as their peers; winners are just
better at the game.
In conclusion, non-conformists with sufficient risk tolerance and patience are invariably the
most successful investors in the long run. When it comes to careers, however, while
non-conformists tend to be more successful in technology- and consumer-driven industries,
traditionalists are the winners in system-driven industries pervaded by policy, regulation, and
bureaucracy.
Issue 59
"The well-being of a society is enhanced when many of its people question authority."
The speaker asserts that when many people question authority society is better off. While I
contend that certain forms of disobedience can be harmful to any society, I agree with the
speaker otherwise. In fact, I would go further by contending that society's well-being depends
on challenges to authority, and that when it comes to political and legal authority, these
challenges must come from many people.
Admittedly, when many people question authority some societal harm might result, even if a
social cause is worthy. Mass resistance to authority can escalate to violent protest and rioting,
during which innocent people are hurt and their property damaged and destroyed. The fallout
from the 1992 Los Angeles riots aptly illustrates this point. The "authority" which the rioters
sought to challenge was that of the legal justice system which acquitted police officers in the
beating of Rodney King. The means of challenging that authority amounted to flagrant
disregard for criminal law on a mass scale--by way of looting, arson, and even deadly assault. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（29） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
